She viii Go Ola the stage.

In spite of reports to the contrary
Mrs. James Brown Potter will go upon
the stage. / can't tell how many peo-
pie have said to me: Have you seen
Mrs. James Brown Potterp DO tell
me what she is like; and is she really
as beautiful as they say?n To this /
answer: Yes, l have seen the lady
great number of times, and she is all
that the world gives her credit of being.
Her hair is sunny brown and crowns
her diminutive head in the prettiest
way possible: her mouth is small, her
teeth white and even, and her complex
ion perfectly colorlcss, which suits her
eyes and adds to her fragile American
beauty think, however, that one of
her chief beauties lies in her personal
charm. Were I an Englishman, l
should say of her that she is one of the
most fetching women I've ever
known. AS to her talent, that is I'M
doubted, and after her London social
and artistic success there is every rea-
son to expect that. if she does go upon
the stage, she viii make great sue
cess. Mrs. Potter viii probably play
in London early next spring, and, it is
not ut all unlikely. III a new part

astonished the world 1t is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and efectual
cure of coughs, colds and the severest

different principle from the usual pre-

does not dry up a cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the

leaves them in a purely healthy con-

FEMALE RKGTST6ATTON

Thursday afternoon the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union held
meeting in the Young Mems Chris
tian association hall, and resolved that
it was their duty to not only register
themselves but to see that every other
woman of their acquaintance should
be induced to do the same, if possible.
The argument used by these ladies is
from Christian, temperance or moral
standpoint, very strong one, and one
that will no doubt appeal to many
ladies who have heretofore been OPP
posed to woman suffrage, holding that
womans' place is at the hearthstone,
and her chief duty in life to see that
home is made place of happiness for
her husband, her. family and herself.
In the language of the ladies of this
organization:
Do you not wish to have all dram,
shops closed in your city?
Do you not wish to have your schools
in the most competent hands, and your
school houses made wholesome places
for your children?
Do you not wish to help make your
town as attractive as possible, to en-
courage your library and to discourage
rowdyism and pauperism?
Do you not wish to have your streets
and public places kept cleaner and in
better order?
Admitting, for the sake of argument,
that we all are inclined to answer the
above queries in the affirmative, will
not the very act of registration be one
of the very strongest, and best of moves
in this direction. veryE lady's name
placed on the poll books is amenace to
violators of the prohibition law. and
should we ever again be unfortunate
enough to elect a set of city of
officials who would shut their
eyes to the open violation of
the law-as has been done within the
last few years-the ladies would have
it in their power to bring them up with
short jerk. And that they would do
so is more than probable.
Ladies, you have the whole matter
in your own hands. You now have
the power to say who shall be mayor of
your city, who shall be councilmen
who shall be members of the board of
education. You even have the power
to dictate who shall be city marshal
and all other officials.
The city council makes all laws for
the government of the city. They
may re-enact the state prohibitory law
as city ordinance, thus bringing its
enforcement within the hands of city
officers.
The mayor is charged with seeing to
the enforcement of all city laws He
appoints the marshal, attorney, engi-
neer, street commissioner and police
men.
The board of education make your
schools what they are. They also are
the ones who order changes in the text
books
Ladies, do you wish to see improve
ments in all the matters mentioned
above? If you do, then register and
use your newly acquired power.

A VETERAN writes the New York
Tribune that on a recent visit to
Washington he called at the ordinance
museum to take look at the captured
and recaptured battle flags which have
been preserved there, and could not
find them, and was informed that they
had been stored away, and was further
informed that it was not thought best
to revive unpleasant memories of dc
feat on the part of some of the visitors
by their exhibition. Is it possible that
the secretary of war could have order
ed them removed.

THE drummers or commercial travel
ers have gained great victory in their
fight against the system of local taxa
tion. The supreme court of the United
States decides.that all such taxation,
in the form of licenses or otherwise, is
unconstitutional, and that the genial
gentlemen who compose a larger por-
ton of the fraternity can tOot their
horns to their hearts content, without
farther fear of state restraint or inter-
ference. We congratulate the boys
upon their victory.

THE chaplain of the Minnesota leg
islature astonished the reporters by
uttering prayer in their behalf. He
began this extraordinary supplication
thus: 'And now, dear Lord bless the
reporters, whose nimble pens catch our

Like Thyself, they are omnipresent,
and almost omnipotent.'' If this di-
vines sermons are not published in full

DIR. Robert Collyer, in a paper read
last week before the New York Insti
tute of Social Science, speaking of the
condition of European peasantry said:
To own land be able to leave it to
our children is one of the strongest de-
sires of our common humanity and
does more than restlessnesS or even

in Norway, which drives them to our

WE have been informed that an in
telligent farmer living in this county
has invented henophone, nodded on
the principal of the telephone, by
which one old reliable hen occupying a
central Office in the hennery sits on all
the nests about the establishment,
leaving other fowls free to lay eggs,
scratch and cackle. As fast as a new
nest contains the full complement Of
eggs, it is connected with the central
Office by a copper wire, and the bust
ness is settled. The only trouble with
the machinery is that it sets so hard it
matches out the porcelain nest eggs
along with the others, so that one
chick i'll every nest is born with glass
eyes, and the farmer has to buy and
train dog to lead it around. This
makes it expensive.

rising vote, every member voting for it
and not one against it:
Whereas, The president of the

of justice, has seen fit in the execution
of the veto power to nullify the nation
al will as expressed by the majority of
congress, in the passage of bill in the
interest of disabled soldiers OF the I'm
ion army, and
Whereas, In such veto message he
has not only defied justice, ignored
mercy and condemned patriotism, but
this of set purpose, and in language
unstatesmanlike, undignified and in
sulting to the men who saved the coun-
try and made it possible for him to
hold the exalted position 80 wantOnly

Resolved, BY the Grand Army of
the Republic of the state of Kansas, in
annual encampment assembled, that
we condemn such veto and call upon
all loyal, country loving men, without
regard to party, to set the seal of con
domination upon this new phase of
treason, which is calculated, If not in
tended to make patriotism odious and

THE last fish story comes from
Florida. Edison, the electrician. has
devised an electrical contraption with
which he takes all the fish he wants.
He runs wire out on the bottom of
the sea or river, and electrifies every
fish that comes along there near it, so
that it rises to the surface dead. The
report adds that fish thus killed keep
indefinitely without ice. That sort of
thing would knock.

predict all kinds of evils therefrom.

the farmer into the country, right past
his farm and two miles beyond. Here

Few persons realize how thoroughly
they are controlled by prejudice even to
their own disadvantage. For many years
the treatment of rheumatism, neuralgia,

these troubles must, from necessity, be in

rub and find no relief Athlophorosis taken

IT was peculiar, but nevertheless
successful method adopted by twenty
five maids in Ireland lately, to battle
one hundred armed policemen who
were ordered to arrest them. The
story in brief, as told by Dublin cable
dispatch is as follows: 1.-THE climax
was reached yesterday, and at the same
time occurred "a veritable redutio ad
absurdum of castle rules when one
hundred armed policemen entered the
poor house to arrest these female of
Tenders, and were baffled by the girls
simply taking off their clothes and go
ing to bed. Twenty-Five naked women,
it may literally be said, beat one hun
dred men armed to the teeth Lady
Godiva, by her perilOus adventure,
took the peoples taxes away and
made herself an everlasting name.'
These twenty-five Irish maids may not
secure such permanent niche in the
temple of fame, but they will at least
have the transient notoriety of having
defeated one hundred armed English
policemen.
